She's political, but not actively so, just the occasional health care post on her FB page. But listening to the morning blab-fests today, hearing the constant drumbeat for Mittens Momentum, she told me she's convinced the media is helping him, and he's got it in the bag. She said she has the same "bad feeling" she had during the Bush '04. Like, this guy can't possibly win, everyone hates him...but he won.
Bummer. She'll still vote Obama, but it helps if you're talking UP the good guy, which she'll be less likely to do if she thinks it's already a done deal for Mittens.

(4,982 posts)They always pander to the Repubs. That's because of who owns them. As for that "feeling" that the f*cking schmuck of a Repube couldn't possibly "win" but he does and what a nightmare that was last time, well I've had it too. You can't help but think back to the horrifying nightmare that was the bu$h years.

(3,784 posts)After Obama cleans Rmoney's clock tonight, the entire theme will change. You can tell me that the media will try to tell us that Rmoney won the debate, and I'm sure they will, but they tried to tell us that Paul Lyin' won last week too, and you see how well their attempt to shape public perception went over then.
